Ashleigh Berry

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF

Hi there! My name is Ashleigh Berry and I was born and raised in San Antonio! I am a mother, doula, wife, Jesus lover, gym shark and pastry connoisseur. I love all things nature and outdoors - minus the heat and mosquitos. My family and my faith are a huge part of my life. When I’m not at a birth, at church or in the gym, you can find me dancing in the kitchen with my hubby and toddler. We’re a spontaneous and adventurous family, always trying new things and constantly making s’mores in the backyard. Life is a precious gift and I’m always finding ways to soak it all in. 

HOW DID YOU COME TO DOULA WORK?

The deep desire to serve and love on mamas during a crucial time in their lives. That’s what brought me to doula work. The longing to help make every birth beautiful - to help every birthing person be heard and cared for. Before I was a doula, I worked briefly at the Freeman Coliseum and a bridal expo! But the Lord called me elsewhere. I love what I do - it would be a dream come true to be able to do this forever. 

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST OR FIND MOST REWARDING ABOUT DOULA WORK?

I love looking into the eyes of my clients as they see their babies for the first time. That first look, that first touch, and the tears that flow afterwards. I love rejoicing with my clients at the end, in awe of their strength. The laughter and the friendships that are made are a great bonus as well. 

WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIALTIES OR AREAS OF PARTICULAR PASSION?

Birth is a marathon and a journey, the whole adventure is my passion. Every birth is so different and unique, always teaching and challenging me. If I had to pick one area of great passion, it would be that I desire for each of my clients to leave informed, heard and cared for. I’ll be there for you through thick and thin! I will walk in the trenches with you.
